Essays on capacity, recovery and how agentic coaching behaves in practice.

Your Company Knows Everything Except Its People13 min. A large bank knows the position of every basis point on its balance sheet. It does not know which of its top 200 people is about to leave. Companies have instrumented almost every aspect of the business except the people who make the business valuable. Seven observations on the largest observability gap in modern work, and what a trusted capacity layer would have to look like.The Death of Corporate Wellness9 min. Corporate wellness is dead. It has just not been buried yet. Three of the largest peer-reviewed evaluations ever run found no meaningful effect, and burnout kept rising while spend kept climbing. The problem was never that wellbeing does not matter. It is that perks cannot fix structural overload, and a dashboard nobody reads is not a coach.A Million Bad Coaches8 min. The problem is not that we have too few coaches. The problem is that we have a million bad ones, none of them talking to each other.How to prevent employee burnout, without another survey.9 min. Burnout is produced by working conditions, not by individual weakness, so the interventions that work are structural: reduce sustained load, protect recovery, restore control over the working day, and shorten the gap between a problem appearing and someone doing something about it. Surveys are too slow to help. The signals that matter, workload density, hours drift and recovery decline, are visible weeks earlier if anyone is looking.What privacy by design actually means for workforce performance data.8 min. Privacy by design means building a system so that it is structurally unable to misuse workforce signals, not writing a policy promising it will not. In practice this means individual data staying private by default, metadata rather than message content, and reporting to leaders that is technically limited to anonymised aggregates.All 12 essays
